Ex-Chelsea winger Salah closing in on Liverpool move from AS Roma

Former Chelsea winger Mohamed Salah is closing in on a £35m move to Premier League rivals Liverpool, according to Sky Sport in Italy.

It is understood Roma have turned down the Reds’ initial £28m offer for the Egypt international, who would be reportedly eager to move back to England following the unsuccessfull spell at Stamford Bridge under José Mourinho.

Salah’s signing for that fee would equal Liverpool’s transfer record paid for Andy Carroll in 2011.
